bananas. It's like the buyer is trying to make a new market pricing by paying that much. or maybe typo'd the decimal point.

A sealed copy of super Mario 64, 1.1 million quid.
Not even a "rare" game like 1 of 10 produced, it's a mass produced thing. Whoever these fools are spending that money, please send them my way.

Hasn't there been talk of artificially inflating / manipulating prices been going on in the market?
Imagine how many shops had unsold stock when they closed down etc and staff took some home and put them in the loft or just went in a warehouse.
Sounds fishy. Nobody would pay that for a game that there may be 100s of out there? Maybe the company that bought it have got a couple of dozen or so in mint condition and now they will sell them 1 at a time over the next few years for a few hundred thousand each to people thinking they are getting a bargain.

Utter insanity, much like this odd craze of paying people to grade your game. It's just a whole market thing now, investing in games/manipulated prices. This one apparently was high due to its low production run number, how many games are made in each production run, wasn't Super Mario 64 a launch title, I seriously doubt a short production run was made initially. Games are there to be played not locked in plastic air tight boxes with a little certificate 92% stuck in the corner. Maybe I am missing something here.
Makes me laugh, it really does, check out these two grail releases....

Just no.
Don't dismiss the role of a professional shrink-wrap assessor.

Nah it's pathetic mate
I think there pretty sad people with obviously sad lives. If any has over a Million to spend on stuff like that, they should be locked up and all the money took off them and pass it to something worthwhile
Would love to open half of this shrink wrapped stuff that people buy to see what's in it, remember all sorts of 80's stuff on ebay like Big Trak, NOS Shrink Wrapped and I just think, it's could have anything inside, what's point of having things you don't open also and pay stupid money for it
When did they start shrink wrapping items, I don't remember that many things I had new that were in 70's 80's, just wonder if loads of these people have been duped into buying a box of tat that's newly been shrink wrapped

I suspect this will be the case.
Manipulating the market.
Sellers will now try and demand more money for their copies citing this auction as the "guide price"
All fake $hit imo

Make that 6 copies as my friend has a mint sealed copy. So something smells fishy already. Note the NTSC on the box. PAL and JP are different.
